MediaDevil , makers of the popular screen protectors we recently reviewed,  announced the launch of two thin Typeguard keyboard protectors for the Apple Macbook and Macbook Pro. The  Typeguards are waterproof covers and are available in clear as well as anti-bacterial versions.   The anti-bacterial cover is made with silver nanoparticles which is scientifically proven to stop over 600 types of bacteria.  They protect from dust, spills and anything else you can think of.  Both types of units are 50 percent thinner than regular silicon protectors.  The keyboard guards are non-toxic and are made of high-grade, low friction Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU).  The covers are transparent as well, allowing back-lit keys to shine through.

“Computer keyboards can carry more harmful bacteria than a toilet seat, including those that cause E.coli and staph infections,” explains MediaDevil founder Callum Bush. “MediaDevil already offers protective tools for tablets and smartphones, so it was a natural next step to provide laptop users with a similarly effective shield. The result is a thinner guard that complements the sleek design and gives users an anti-bacterial choice for the ultimate protection.”

The clear cover will sell for $19.97 and the anti-bacterial cover for $24.97.  In a few weeks both will be available in the United States at Amazon.com.

Look for them soon on the MediaDevil web site as well.

Antec makes a wide range of product.  That large selection even applies to their sub-category of offerings as well.  The company makes three different types of screen cleaning solutions each with it’s own distinct characteristics.

Their Natural product is made from 100% natural ingredients and is eco-friendly.  If you’re someone who is concerned about the environment and what effect processed chemicals have on it then this is the product for you.  The Natural cleaner both cleans and protects your screen (iPhone, iPod, iPad, tablet, computer etc.)

Their 3X cleaner flat out cleans your device’s screen like nothing I’ve seen before.  It not only cleanses your screen of oil and fingerprints but also frees it from any bacteria thanks to an extra antimicrobial add-on.  The 3X cleaner also protects your screen by leaving a thin, undetectable layer behind.

Finally the Deep Cleaner is a gel which is meant to be applied once and a while for the times when you’ve just let your screen go.  The thicker consistency of the gel allows it to reach every nook and cranny of the screen leaving you with a screen that looks as good as the day you took it out of the box.

All of the Antec cleaning products are drip free, which means you needn’t worry about it getting into any of the ports on your device either.

Sound good?  Hit the jump to watch my video review of all three of the Antec Cleaning products mentioned in this video.  Then head to the company’s web site here to learn more about them.

AOC Portable USB Powered 16″ Monitor

Road warriors take note, there’s a pretty cool accessory on the way from AOC.  This 16″ monitor requires only a single USB connection for both power and video – no VGA or power cable required.  It’s light weight and ideal for both travel as well as multi-monitor set ups.  The monitor features a handy built in stand which pivots out when needed and stores flush against the back of the monitor when not in use.  The monitor also supports both portrait and landscape modes.  Look for it to be available sometime in October for a retail price of $139.

iTwin – Secure USB Remote File Transfer

I recently came across an email which linked me to a remote file transfer product called the iTwin. As you may have seen from my previous post on the Pogoplug Mobile, I am very much into making sharing data as easy as possible. So out of curiosity I decided to check the site out and watch the product demonstration video. I was actually quite shocked when I saw how the product worked.

The iTwin, is a set of two usb devices similar in size to a flash drive. But these devices do not actually store the content, but instead the content is sent from one USB to the other for instant download. For example, I can have one of the USB devices plugged into my laptop, and the other plugged into my personal desktop. I can easily drag and drop files between the systems by adding the file to the flash drive or even access my enter hard drive. The data is sent over a secure AES 256-bit connection. The same security you will find if using a cloud-based server. One of the benefits this device offers over the cloud is that they don’t charge monthly fee’s or restricts your storage.

To help keep both USB devices together, the iTwin features a connector on the back which allows both of the devices to be connected together as one. This is great for those who, like me, tend to misplace things very quickly.

I’m sure you’ve heard me mention it before.  Every computer my wife seems to use in our house always has WiFi connection issues.  Dropped connections, slow speeds, she just can’t win.  I solved the problem of her office computer with the Diamond Multimedia Wireless Range Extender. The remaining challenge was her home computer, located two floors up in our master bedroom.  For that computer I choose the Diamond Multimedia Powerline Internet HP200 AV Kit.  The HP200AV creates an ethernet port anywhere in your home simply by means of your home electrical system.

How does it work?  Read on to find out.

As homes continue to grow larger and larger so does the need for more powerful wireless routers.  Our house isn’t what I’d call small, at over 3,000 feet, and we use a lot of WiFi enabled devices.  Our one router, an Actiontec provided free by Verizon as part of their FIOS service, does an admirable job keeping up with all most of the time but there are just some areas in our home it simply can’t reach sufficiently.  No more so than the basement.  My wife, who works from home, keeps her office down there and often complains of weak WiFi strength.  I’d toyed with the idea of investing in a second router and setting it up for her in the basement but that could get costly since it would require a new line of service from Verizon.

Thankfully Diamond Multimedia makes a product that can help.  The Wireless Range Extender is meant to solve the problem of WiFi dead spots in your home by taking your existing signal and extending its range to previously hard to reach spots.

Does it work?  Read on for the full review.
